I think we’re both without links, aren’t we. Now from my understanding we were speaking about China and not the US or anyone else. You are correct though that getting accurate information about what is happening in China is not easy.
Now I can post links but then you will tell me any information I bring is corrupt or propaganda so we can skip the effort I would put in that will be wasted anyways.
The conditions and the treatment of workers is inhumane. You would have to be very isolated or ignorant to not be aware.
The Family of Xi Jinping (General Secretary): Independent journalistic investigations and unclassified intelligence reports document that Xi’s immediate family (siblings, nieces, and nephews) amassed business investments, real estate, and financial holdings valued at over $1 billion. While Xi reportedly urged relatives to divest from some holdings upon taking power in 2012, intelligence audits confirm that his family continues to hold millions in indirect investments
The Family of Wen Jiabao (Former Premier): A landmark forensic investigation revealed that the former Premier’s mother, wife, son, and siblings controlled corporate assets and hidden investment vehicles worth at least $2.7 billion.
The Broader Politburo Elite: Systemic wealth tracking indicates that high-ranking party families routinely leverage political clout to secure lucrative stakes in state-dominated sectors, including real estate, heavy infrastructure, finance, and telecommunications
The intersection of wealth and political influence is highly visible in China’s two legislative and advisory bodies: the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)
The annual meetings of these bodies are regularly dubbed the “world’s wealthiest parliament”. Data compiled by the Hurun Research Institute shows that dozens of China’s absolute wealthiest billionaires serve concurrently as delegates or political advisers within these state institutions, providing them direct input on economic policy. Research indicates that acquiring an NPC or CPPCC seat serves as a massive accelerator for private sector tycoons looking to protect and boost their initial wealth accumulation.
Top officials technically hold nothing in their own names. Instead, wealth is channeled through a complex system of “white gloves”—trusted business proxies, corporate lawyers, and extended family members who manage multi-million dollar corporate shares and offshore shells
Elites leverage political connections to obtain below-market loans from state banks, exclusive permits for state-backed strategic industries, and lucrative municipal land-use rights.
Data shows that a household with at least one CCP member is, on average, 21% to 24% wealthier than a non-party household, heavily driven by early access to privatized prime real estate.
Are you sure it is the working class who controls the state? Maybe in China the working class are millionaires and billionaires?
Does the working class in China have control of the state currently? Or is it the wealthy and powerful in China who control the state? Aren’t most high ranking CCP members wealthy and not working class? I think someone has lied to you and you believed it without questions.
Also what business does china have controlling 80% of the mines in Congo while they commit human atrocities? Can you tell them to please stop buying off our politicians and torturing our people.
Is China a socialist country? Also are they not imperialists in east Africa? Can you please tell Chinese companies to leave Africa alone and leave the Congo, Kenya, and Tanzania? I would appreciate it. Africa is growing slowly but these local leaders are from the devil for sure. They sell our nation and our resources to whoever will pay them personally. In spite of the corruption things are developing.
I need peace and wellbeing for all minds in existence.
Which change are we speaking of?

Anyone here used alpine? Seems like it’s supposed to be for routers or maybe old hardware?
Maybe now I can get to know the real Lucy Liu
I remember one is more of a political / atheist group and the other is more so what it says on the tin but I always mix them up. Thanks for the clarification. I’m sure that’s a constant happening.
Oh goodness, what’s that reference? Futurama?
Of course there’s a specific German word for this. Thanks for the fun fact.
Thanks for the link, now this shit would make a good movie. I miss when SF was high on hippie vibes and psychedelics, not glue fumes and adderall.
I wouldn’t consider death cults necessarily satanic although it depends on one’s portrayal of Satan. I have more of a Zoroastrian or maybe David Icke space reptilian view of the Satan character aka the goal is to increase needless and avoidable suffering for all minds anywhere in existence as it’s like a fuel source or food. Then in contrast God or goodness is all things which decrease needless and avoidable suffering and bring minds into states of wellbeing. I think the desire to just end everything like the antenatalists and other such death or doom cults is more Shiva like or maybe Surtr.
I do tend to fall back on basic Buddhist / Taoist philosophy though in that anything done in desire necessitates its opposite. Yin begets Yang type deal. Like the Shiva or Surtr type character wants to destroy but just ends up creating a new beginning, yin becomes yang.
I want a Lucy Liu bot.
I think we’re in the awkward teen years of AI. From like 2015 to 2022 was like the baby years where everyone was amazed at that cool new toy. Then like 2022 to 2030 are the angsty teen years where it kinda works, kinda doesn’t, seems kinda pissed off at its parents. Then 2030 to 2050 will be the big AI adult years where it actually delivers and we start seeing society fundamentally change, personal robotics, automated society and the whole nine. Then 2050+ it may grow into something much more than we imagined for better or worse.
Personally I think they way over promised. AI development has been bonkers fast but it’s just not there yet. With a lack of regulation and halfway AI most people are pretty disgruntled. The fact that people are even making posts like this is insane. Like shit didn’t really start popping off until 2017, it’s been 9 years and we want strong AI already when in like 2015 most people thought we wouldn’t even be at this level of AI until like 2100.
Now I’m imagining a split in the satanic church, that is an AI satanic church and a non-AI satanic church. AI Satan sounds pretty hellish if you ask me…
I wonder if society will fracture into two groups, kinda like the Amish and the rest of us. There will now be people content with this level of technology and those who go on forward for better and worse. I can totally see it, entire towns where AI is banned.
I Imagine there will be yet another separation if there’s a choice to upload your consciousness a bit like the show pantheon.
Word to the wise, get a good lawyer when doing things.

You’re welcome to come and see for yourself to verify your words in person. I can bring you to places and have you ask the people they employ yourself.
